Nintendo Download of the Week: 2/14 Edition

Apparently the holiday in which we show love for our significant others has finally arrived. Whether you have someone in your life or not, one thing must be known, this weeks offering is lacking in all the wrong places. Nothing really stands out to me here, so making a decision is going to be a hard thing to do. Let’s get on with it, here is my pick for Nintendo Download of the Week for February 14th, 2011. (more…)

Samurai Warriors: Chronicles Screenshots

Here are some screenshots from the final version of Samurai Warriors: Chronicles for the 3DS, which will hit store shelves on March 25,2011. (more…)

Nintendo Download of the Week: 2/7 Edition

After watching an exciting game like the Super Bowl, expecting a great offering of new downloadable titles isn’t too much to ask, or is it? I have to admit that it gets harder to pick a favorite week after week because shovelware seems to be the name of the game every time. Just because one person feels this way doesn’t mean that there isn’t something in here that might be worth checking out. Anyways here it is, my pick for Nintendo Download of the Week for February 7th, 2011. (more…)

Nintendo Download of the Week: 1/31 Edition

When I think of the downloadable offerings this time around, only one word comes to mind, boring. With the pending release of the 3DS being just around the corner, it seems like these developers are not even trying anymore. Apparently, services you can call 1-900 numbers for (and no it’s nothing dirty) can qualify themselves as games. There is still a gem in here somewhere, guess we will just have to dig real deep in order to find it. Here it is, my pic for Nintendo Download of the Week for January 31st, 2011. (more…)

Review: Astroslugs

I have a confession to make, creative thinking is not exactly my strong suit. This is ironic because one of my favorite genres in the video game world is the puzzle genre. Stepping outside of a comfort zone, and actually using ones brain has become a thing of the past nowadays. In a world filled with mindless shooters and beat’ em ups, it’s nice a change of pace when something like Astroslugs comes along. While it may not be that complicated to play, the level of challenge on offer here will have you second guessing yourself every step of the way. (more…)

DOA Dimensions: Other M Trailer

Nintendo Download of the Week: 1/24 Edition

This is the first time in quite awhile where picking a favorite download is not so easy. Two titles in particular look equally interesting, but in the end I had to go with the one that has the possibility of being worth it in the long run. Being a sports related game made my decision a little bit easier, but not by much. Either way here it is, my pick for Nintendo Download of the Week for January 24th,2011. (more…)

3DS gets a release date

Those looking to experience the latest in 3D handheld technology will not have to wait much longer. The Nintendo 3DS is set to hit store shelves in North America on March 27, and in Europe on March 25th of this year. It will be priced at $249.99, and will include a plethora of features that would take a long time to go over in just one article. Let’s take a look at some of the features included that I think really stood out from the others instead. (more…)

Nintendo Download of the Week: 1/17 Edition

If names of games alone could win my favorite pick every time, one of these would take the cake without question. Let’s be clear about something though, an interesting concept means more than anything else when picking out a favorite. That being said, one game in particular did grab my attention, but it may not be the one you expect. Here it is, my pick for Nintendo Download of the Week for January 17th, 2011. (more…)

Nintendo Download of the Week: 1/10 Edition

There isn’t really too much to get excited about with this latest installment of Nintendo downloads. An interesting looking demo, and more additions to the VC might just save it from being a complete disaster. No matter how bad things get, I’m sure there is something in this mess of shovelware that might be worth checking out. Either way here it is, my pic for Nintendo Download of the Week for January 10th, 2011. (more…)

Review: Frobot

Not even sure where to begin on explaining this unique downloadable experience for Wiiware. Sometimes the off center experiences can turn out to be duds on the service, so I was a little skeptical about it at first. After spending a few minutes with Frobot however, my skepticism soon disappeared. Who knew that a robot with five girlfriends, a monster afro, and the ability to shoot lasers out of his chest could end up being so much fun. This is easily the most pleasant surprise of 2010. (more…)

Nintendo Download of the Week: 1/03 Edition

The first set of downloads for the new year doesn’t look too promising if you ask me. No virtual console releases to speak of is a big disappointment as well. Who knows though, a gem could exist amongst these offerings, so let’s give them a chance. So here it is, my pick for Nintendo Download of the Week for January 3rd, 2011. (more…)

Review: Epic Mickey

Sometimes writing a review can be a very difficult thing to do, especially in a situation such as this. What I mean by that is when a game combines a multitude of genres together in such a unique and creative way, it becomes hard to define exactly what it was that you just played. Creating an experience that actually lives up to the hype is a rare thing to see in this industry nowadays, but the team over at Junction Point has accomplished this feat and then some. Mickey Mouse is a hero in a different way this time around, but that’s not a bad thing at all. (more…)

Nintendo Download of the Week: 12/27 Edition

Happy Holidays everybody, hope you had fun with friends and family, stuffed up on lots of food, and received lots of presents. Enough of this touchy feely stuff, it’s time to get down to business and talk about games. After taking a look at what’s on offer here, picking a favorite won’t be that hard to do. Anyways here it is, my pick for Nintendo Download of the Week for December 27th, 2010. (more…)

Nintendo Download of the Week: 12/20 Edition

After taking a look at this weeks offerings, picking a favorite was pretty easy to do. Sure, an instant classic has hit the Virtual Console, but I did get a chance to check out this other game at Pax East 2010, and it was alot of fun. Be warned though, the concept is incredibly strange, and if you’re not into disco music, or taking a trip back to the 70′s, then my choice might not fit your particular tastes. Either way, here it is, my pick for Nintendo Download of the Week for December 20th, 2010. (more…)
